JVC MC-1

Direct-Coupled Moving Coil Cartridge

JVC MC-1

Description

The weight of the armature in the MC-1 was reduced by using a super-lightweight micro-coil.

The micro-coil consists of a wafer and a precision coil of approximately 1mm square formed thereon.

It's accuracy and reliability are extremely high, while unit per unit variations are minimised.

The weight is almost a one hundredth that of conventional coils.

Employment of a coreless coil eliminates the possibility of magnetostrition.

The magnetic circuit is constructed of a samarium cobalt magnet and an iron cobalt yoke in the vertical configuration for obtaining an excellent magnetic efficiency so that the merit of the direct-cpoupled construction can be fully utilised.
